The English seem to have become much less prudish in the past ten years.
BOOK DESCRIPTION
Defending Pornography offers a unique perspective on the pre-censorship crusade waged in recent years by a highly influential alliance of the American feminist movement and leading conservatives. As one of America's most visible and articule advocates of both feminism and free speech, and president of the American Civil Liberties Union, Nadine Strossen eloquently argues that to view sexuality and sexually oriented expression as inherently dangerous does profound damage to human rights in general, and to women's right in particular.
In Strossen's eyes women do not have to choose between safety and 'our freedoms to read, think, speak, sing, write, paint, dance, dream, photograph, film, and fantasize as we wish' - but as she makes devastatingly clear, censorship continues to be used as a tool to repress information vital to female equality, health and reproductive autonomy.

BOOK DESCRIPTION
Anna and Robert Francoeur examine here within a religious and historical context, the changing sexual and marriage patterns in American society. Birth control, women's liberation, and increased mobility and leisure are important factors in the inevitable and rapid process of change, “but the eye of the storm,” say the Francoeurs, “is a new way in which men and women relate to one another as sexual persons.”
Employing Marshall McLuhan's terminology, the Francoeurs analyze the shift from the constraints and artificiality of “hot” sex to the spontaneous enjoyment of “cool” sex. Organizationally, this means replacing the traditional “closed” marriage with the flexible “open” marriage. In terms of personal growth, it means equal communication in an environment of diffused sensuality and multilateral relations between men and women.
The time for drastic change in sexual relations is ripe, the Francoeurs believe. But the process is one of delicate balance. “If we use sex as a means to an end, it is cut off from the real essence of our lives,” but “when sex is integrated into our personality… human sexuality becomes communicative, contemplative, polymorphic, and aesthetic.”

BOOK DESCRIPTION
Now available in a new paperback edition, this survey is different in both breadth and scope from all other reports on sexuality in the United States. It covers every topic imaginable, from a multicultural point of view, in order to reflect fully the complex society in which we live: the biological, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects of our sexual lives.

BOOK DESCRIPTION
Sex is one of the great joys of life – satisfying to the body, sublime to the soul. But when we examine our sexual psychology with a careful eye, we will find a reservoir of fear toward sexual expression.
BOOK DECRIPTION
At a time when almost any victimless sexual practice has its public advocates and almost every sexual act is fit for the front page, the easiest, least harmful, and most universal one is embarrassing, discomforting and genuinely radical when openly acknowledged.
